You'd want a versatile player who could also play wide, maybe, and a big fucking lump who knows that his job description is 'emergency siege ladder'.

McKennie signing would be the worst since Djemba Djemba.

It really won’t…absolutely it probably won’t be a game changing signing but it’ll be an upgrade on Dendoncker squad wise and we’ll back Unai and team to get the best of him or he’ll last a season and be moved on

It's hard to criticise after what was achieved last year but if these transfers go through as predicted, I can't say I'm anything other than bitterly disappointed. To sell one of the best players in his position for a lump who even Leeds fans turned on in their relegation year, an untried kid and cash which will go to pay to buy back Archer, who Unai clearly didn't think was good enough, makes no sense to me. Then we intend to sell one of the best young prospects around to a potential rival next year makes it worse. Deciding to scrap increasing our capacity and therefore reducing our potential revenue, while others are moving to 50/60k capacity, caps off the shit show. Not happy.

Didn't a lot of people including the Leicester fans say similar things regarding Tielemans when we signed him?

As far as I can tell some minds have been made up based on a few appearance for Leeds and not Juventus but, their fans are not happy with him leaving?

You can announce what you want, when you want. We announced Kamara had signed for us on May 22nd 2022.

They said he downed tools in the last 6-12 months of his contract.

There is a lot of competition for that particular accolade especially from the classes of 2015 -18.

I think these types of players is also part of being clever in the market, identifying players who may have dipped in form or be unhappy at places
